The entire facade crumbles when we learn to ask the right questions. Peace is not currently on the menu. The influencer flotilla is psyop operation. And, that's not Greta. Greece is helping the second flotilla. There will be diplomatic repercussions. Testing the waters in Gaza. The Israeli civilian victims. The UN says they committed crimes. Ukraine is on fire too. Programs cannot replicate programs. Evil counterfeits are not inventions. You are dangerous because you are uncontrolled. Elon is the lightning rod. Trump has done so much at great cost. Now that they're adrift, let's cut them loose. Remember to say what hasn't been said. What if Isreal was the most evil? The CCP runs the UN now. Turkey will be coming in hard. Counter-intel Islamafobia. Red string connections show unconscious links. They are pushing the collective to the breaking point. Stress pressure is a very cruel teacher. Evil is our creation, and we must judge it's fruits. It teaches us to see in the dark, and builds scaffolding for the truth. Did she say reherseauthority? Moving with the crowd does not mean safety. Beneath the showy performance is the truth. Those who do not choose must only adapt. Remember, when the programming wears off, love is the best operating code.

Today on the Mouthful of Graffiti Podcast, we're pulling back the curtain on the world of community theatre with two very special guests. Joining me are veteran performers Eric Bray Jr. and Jess Simonson, artists who've explored the depths of characters from classic musicals like Fiddler on the Roof and Grease, to contemporary hits like SpongeBob The Musical. Their journey through these roles is a testament to finding personal connection in every performance, always leaving a lasting impression. Today, Eric and Jess are here to discuss their highly anticipated roles in the Phoenix Festival Theater's upcoming production of Disney's Newsies. We'll explore the profound themes of individual voice and collective power that resonate so deeply within this beloved story. Please join me in welcoming Eric Bray Jr., starring as Jack Kelly, and Jess Simonson, portraying Katherine Plumber, to the show.Sponsored by the Harford County Cultural Arts Board.

Already Topping the American & British Soul charts.Melba Moore has done it all, twice. At the tender age of 10, Melba notes that it was then that she was introduced to music and that “I didn't have any music in my life before my mother married my stepfather. He introduced music into our home and into my life.” From that moment forward, Melba began to develop her 5-octave, note-holding soprano that would soon bring audiences to their feet. Theater: Won a Tony Award for best featured actress in a musical for her role in the musical "Purlie," Replaced  Diane Keaton in  the Broadway musical "Hair" Was first African American woman to play the female lead in the musical "Les Misérables" on Broadway. The Newark, NJ Arts High School graduate started doing recording sessions after a chance meeting with singer/songwriter/composer Valerie Simpson (of Ashford & Simpson).  That opportunity in the studio led Melba in the company of the Broadway musical “HAIR!” First in the ensemble of the show, Melba's name was tossed into the conversation when actress Diane Keaton left the show and Melba took the female lead and broke all the rules, being the first Black woman to replace a white actress in a featured role on Broadway. The journey of Melba's career took her meteorically from there to the lead of “PURLIE,” a musical adaptation of a play written by acting husband and wife pioneers Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee.  That role and its musical soundtrack would earn Moore a Grammy nomination as Best New Artist in 1971 and a Tony Award for Best Featured ActressTelevisionStarred in her own sitcom, "Melba Melba's Career continues with2024  Live Apperances at 54 Below in New York City this Spring.   MelbaMoore.com© 2024 Building Abundant Success!!2024 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASAmazon ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

One-Act Play Collections - Book 8, Part 2 Title: One-Act Play Collections - Volume 8 Overview: Librivox's One-Act Play Collection 8 includes one-act plays in the public domain read by a variety of LibriVox members. A one-act play is a play that has only one act and is distinct from plays that occur over several acts. One-act plays may consist of one or more scenes. The 20-40 minute play has emerged as a popular subgenre of the one-act play, especially in writing competitions. One-act plays make up the overwhelming majority of Fringe Festival shows including at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The origin of the one-act play may be traced to the very beginning of recorded Western drama: in ancient Greece, Cyclops, a satyr play by Euripides, is an early example. The satyr play was a farcical short work that came after a trilogy of multi-act serious drama plays. A few notable examples of one-act plays emerged before the 19th century including various versions of the Everyman play and works by Moliere and Calderon. One act plays became more common in the 19th century and is now a standard part of repertory theatre and fringe festivals.

Theatre has played an important role in post-conflict northern Ireland, where it has been used by artists, communities, and organisations as a tool for political advocacy. Theatres of Post-Conflict Northern Ireland: Winning the Peace (University of Exeter Press, 2024) provides an up-to-date assessment of the state of theatre in northern Ireland since the end of the conflict, across a period of complete transformation, from entrenched civil conflict to relative peace and prosperity. With a focus on applied theatre and works that use theatre as advocacy, the book investigates the ways the main communities in the region have used theatre to promote their agendas, combat prejudice, and deal with legacy issues of the conflict. It also explores the emergence of new theatres that reflect social and demographic changes in the post-conflict period, including theatre with migrants and minorities, LGBTQ and Irish language theatre. In doing so, it examines the crucial role that theatre (and by extension, arts) can play in processes of reconciliation. The book will prove valuable to students and academics in the fields of applied theatre, conflict studies, and arts for reconciliation. It will appeal also to the general reader with an interest in northern Irish politics and culture. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jeffrey Seller says he found his home on stage from an early age. He grew up in the suburbs of Detroit as an adopted, gay, Jewish kid in a low-income family – but he was also a theater kid. In his new memoir Theater Kid, Seller reflects on how he moved on from the challenges of his childhood to find incredible success on Broadway. In today's episode, he speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about what first drew him to projects like In the Heights and Hamilton, the surprising jobs held by Seller's father, and what theater can unlock for its audiences.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Tony-nominated actor Jasmine Amy Rogers discusses her role bringing the cartoon Betty Boop to life in the new Broadway musical "Boop!"

In this special Tonys week episode, Dennis is joined via Zoom by Broadway producer Jeffrey Seller to discuss his book Theater Kid: A Broadway Memoir, which documents his journey from a childhood of family dysfunction and always feeling like an outsider to thriving as a Broadway producer with four Best Musical Tonys to his credit (Rent, Avenue Q, In the Heights and Hamilton). Jeffrey talks about why he decided to write the book, the elementary school teacher who saw what was special in him, always having the self belief to take big swings and confessing his love to his college best friend, who happened to be future Broadway composer Andrew Lippa. He also recalls an early workshop of Tik Tik...Boom! where he was exposed to the work of Jonathan Larson for the first time. He was so knocked out he wrote Larson a long, passionate letter, which led to Seller producing Rent five or so years later. He recalls being similarly knocked out by Lin-Manuel Miranda's talent at an early workshop of In the Heights. Other topics include: the current renaissance of new musicals on Broadway, why he chose to write so frankly about sex in his book, that time his process server father decided he wanted to become a circus clown, what it was like to start making really good money after growing up poor in a neighborhood of Detroit known as "Cardboard Village," the year his underdog puppet musical Avenue Q beat out Wicked for Best Musical, what Hamilton represents during the second Trump administration, Jonathan Larson's tragic and untimely death just as Rent was about to explode on the scene, what Larson's parents told him on the night after they lost their son and much, much more.
